WINDOW.

Application filed. September 14, 1925.

This present invention relates to improvements in windows wherein the window frames have balanced sashes therein and more particularly to attachments for the sashes whereby said sashesmay be readily removed from the window frame without disturbing the stop bead.

An important object of the invention is to provide an attachment which is easily engaged with. and disengaged from the sash or allowing the sash to be easily installed or removed for cleaning the window panes and the like.

Another very important object of the invention is to provide a device of this nature which is simple in its construction, inexpensive to manufacture, strong, durable, efficient and reliable in operation, easy to manipulate, adjustable, not likely to easily become out of order, and otherwise well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed. a

\Vith the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as the descrip tion proceeds, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of a window assemblage showing my attachment associated therewith.

Figure 2 is a plan view of one of the at taehments.

Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectionthrough a portion of a window sash and one of my attachments.

Figure l is a detailed transverse section taken substantially on the line 1' 1 of Figure 2.

Referring to the drawings in detail it will be seen that 5 designates the ordinary window frame provided with the usual stop beads 6 between which are slidable in the frames the sashes 7, in a manner which is very well understood in this art. These sashes 7 are not quite as wide as the ordinary sashes, that is the width of each sash is equal-to the distance between a bead on one side of the frame and the corresponding bead on the other side thereof, it being my attachments which really move between beads on the same side of the frame. As all of the attachments are identical in construction a detailed description of one will sutlice for all. Therefore, referring now to one of the attachments in detail, it will be seen that numeral 8 designates the upper section, numeral 9 the intermediate section and the numeral 10 the bottom section. All of the sections are stamped from metal to form the structures hereinafter described in detail. As is shown to advantage in Figure 6 the side edges of the sashes 7 are formed with longitudinally extending channels 11 having recesses 12 in their bottoms adjacenttheir upper ends (see Figure The upper section 8 is provided with an offset end 18. A slot 1 1 is formed in the upper portion of the section 8 adjacent the oifset portion 13. The upper section 8 has its lower end terminating in ears 15 receivable between cars 16 at the upper end of the section 9. A pivot pin 18 pierces the cars 15 and 16 for hinging the section 8 to the section 9. The width of the upper portion 19 of the bottom section 10 is reduced to slide between the sides ofthe section 9 having a telescopic association therewith. The reduced portion 19 of the section 10 is provided with a longitudinally extending slot 20. The section 9 is provided with an opening registering with the slot through which extends a bolt 21. This bolt, of course, also extends through the slot 20 and a nut 22 is engaged therewith and housed within the reduced portion 19 of the lower section 10. The telescopic association of the sections 9 and 10 is provided for adjusting the length of the attachment as may be desired. All of the sections 8, 9 and 10 are shaped in cross section as, is shown to advantage in Figures 4:

and 6, that is to provide a base 23 bent out along its medium longitudinal dimensions to form rib 24. receivable in channel 11. Rectangular side tlanges are formed on the edges oi the base 23. Spring rollers 26 are mounted in sections 9 and 10. Each roller 26'is provided with truunions 27 movable in guide ears 28 and engaged by springs 29 of the bowed type having one end anchored as at 30. These rollers 26 are adapted to engage the sides of the window fran'ie or casing. A dog 31 is prodded with a notch 32 for receiving a pin 33 mounted in ears 3%- projecting from section 9. The nose portion of the dog 31 is serrated. at so that thesash cord may be trained down through the channel formed by the portion 2% and the end thereof engaged by the dog as is shown to advantage in Figure 3-. It a chainiis used in place of a sash cord, as is indicated in Figure 7, a dog 31' will be utilized having the notch 32" for receiving the pin 33- and havingits nose reduced as at 35 for the purpose of engaging the end of one of the other links of the chain as is illustrated in Fig ure 7.

In each recess 12 that is mounted a spring catch 36 which is adapted to project through the slot is and have its nose engaged with the offset end 13 so asto hold the attachment in engagementwith the sash.

If it is desirous to remove one of the sashes 7 the noses of spring catches 36 are disengaged with the ofiiset ends 13. Supposing the sash desired to be removed is the lower sash or the upper sash lowered, it will be seen that the sash cord or chain by its weight will be pulled upwardly and will take with it the attachment. In order to insure the removal of the sections 9 and 10 of each attachment the upper section 8 may behinged over so that the bottom section 10 may be pulled all the way out. lVhen the attachments have thus been removed, of course, the sash may be displaced from the frame as is quite obvious. It will also be seen that the attachments are adjustable depending upon-the length of the sashes and that the dogs 31 and 31 are interchangeable tor engagement with either a sash cord or sash chain. Absolutely no change is necessary in theconstruction of the window frame. In order to install these attachments onsashes already installedin. a building it is only necessary to decrease the width of each sash to a relatively small extent andto channel the. same.

It is thought that the construction, operation, utility, and advantages of the invention will now be clearly understood without a more detailed description thereof. The plQSEIIteIDbOdiIDQHt of the. invention has been disclosed. merely byv way of. eiianiple since in actual practice it attains. the tea tures of advantage enumerated senescent in the statement of the invention and the above description. It will be apparent that numerous changes in the details of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages.

Having described my invention what I claim as new is: I

1. In combination, a window sash, an attachment, means for detachably engaging the attachment to one side of the sash, means on the attachment for engaging. a sash cord, said attachment formed into three sections, two of said sections being adjustably and telescopically associated and the third section being hingedly engaged with one of the first two sections.

2. A sash attachment of the class described including a plurality of sections, two of said sections being adjustably associated with each other and the remaining section being hingedly engaged with one ofthe other sections, means for engaging the hinged section to a sash, spring rollers mounted in the sections, and meansin one of the sections for engaging a sash cord or the like.

3. A sash attachment of the class described including, in combination, three sections, two of said sections being telescopically associated, means for holding said telescopically associated sections in different adjusted positions in relation to each other, spring mounted rollers in the telescopically associated sections, the third section being hingedly engaged'with one of the telescopically associated sections, said hinged section provided with an ofiset end and a slot adjacent the end so that a catch may pass therethrough and engage the oiiset end.

4. A sash attachment of the class described including. in combination, three sections, two f said sections being telescopically vassociated, means for holding said telescopically associated sections in diiterent adjusted positions in relation to each other, spring mounted rollers inthc telescopically associated sections, the third section being hingedly engaged with one of the telescopically associated sections, said hinged section provided with an otiset end and a slot adjacent the end so that a catch may pass therethrough and engage the oilset end,and means in one of the telescopically associated sections for engaging a sash cord or the like.

5. In. combination, a window sash provided on one side with a channel having a recess in one end, an attachment including three sections, two of said sections being telescopically associated, means for holding the telescopically associated'sections in different adj us'ted' positions" inrelati'on foreach other, spring mounted rollers in the an:

scopically associated sections, means in one of the telescopically associated sections for engaging a sash cord, the third section being hingedly engaged With one of the telescopically associated sections, said hinged section having its end offset to be received in the recess of the channel and provided With a slot, and a spring catch mounted in the recess adapted to pass through the slot and engage the oflset end of the hinged 10 section.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
